Thanks Kirk.

I also found the link to firebox, but like Kathy, hesitate to switch over
for various reasons.  Hopefully Jim will be back out here soon, and can give
us some more information on how it works.

>>    Hi all,
>>
>> I know there are quite a few on this list who use the FaceBook site.
>> Most
>> blind people tend to use the m.facebook.com web site even if you use a PC
>> or
>> a smart phone etc.  It has become impossible to use the site when
>> accessing
>> it with a PC when using internet explorer.  The problem may not have hit
>> everyone yet but it will probably happen to you sooner or later.  Below
>> are
>> your options.
>>
>> I have found at least with JAWS that I can make m.facebook.com work if I
>> use
>> Firefox as my browser instead of Internet Explorer.  I should mention
>> here
>> that even if a sighted person were to try to access this site with no
>> screen
>> reader using a PC the site will not work with internet explorer.
>>
>> Another option is to use the very cluttered http://www.facebook.com web
>> site.
>>
>> A third option would be to use a handheld device such as a smart phone,
>> iPod, or other mobile device.  These types of devices still do work on
>> m.facebook.com.
>>
>> Thank you,
>> Jim Ellsworth
>> If you have been sed to accessing m.facebook.com with a PC using internet
>> explorer the site simply doesn't work any longer.
